similar to: auto-remount a failed NT mount?

I've got seven Linux boxes, and three NT boxes, all that have to be mounted via smbmount for a backup that we run through one of the Linux machines ("SPEEDY") via BRU. While Speedy has no problem keeping the mounts for all the Linux machines, the mounts for NT machines will timeout after a short period. I run a "df" and get an Input/Output error on all the NT machines. I

This is a problem I get with various versions of Samba, up to and including 2.0.7. (The version shipped with Debian.) I have an NT machine (4.0, service-pack 3 using NTFS) exporting a filesystem to Linux through smbmount. Specific directories are not browsable. By that I mean that "ls *" comes up blank, however if you know the filename, "ls foo.txt" will still find the

Hi , Iam experiencing problems with samba mount of a NT system.Iam using samba2.0.5a.I have mounted a NT 4.0 Sp 5 shared folder on a Red Hat linux 6.1 machine.Iam mounting using the "mount -t smb" command the NT shared folders.Iam able to mount and work in a default way.But here is some of the problems i face in it. 1.Sometimes the smb mount gets dropped and i have to remount the

I've got a machine running RedHat Linux 6.2 on a P-II400 with 256MB of ram. I'm mounting shares in the manner 'mount -t smbfs -o uid=user,gid=group //server/share /mount/point'. The server is a genuine NT 4 server, with SP5 and a couple of hotfixes. I mounted a couple of shares yesterday, and overnight the stopped working. When accessing the share, I get an error message that

I keep seeing this in my logs: Jul 5 12:37:29 gateway kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-32, setting invalid What have I screwed up? Also, any news on when the search stuff will be back up?

I have a machine running redhat 6.2 and samba 2.0.6 that does a persistent mount to my Windows 2000 machine for the purposes of serving files via FTP. The samba connection occasionally times out it seems, I get the message smb_request: result -32, setting invalid smb_retry: new pid=20679, generation=12 and it generates a new connection I've got SO_KEEPALIVE active in the socket options in my

If I use smbmount and copy a file > 2GB in size, I get an error: "8720 File Size Limit Exceeded" I'm using kernel 2.4.18 (smp) with Redhat 7.3. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Mick e-ssociate EPSON (UK) Ltd. Tel 01442 227374 www.epson.co.uk

Hi. Is there such a limit to 2GB in samba 2.2.8a-1? I get a "File imit exceeded" when I try to tar or cp smth to a smbmount. On both machines I can successfully do dd if=/dev/zero and create a file of 3GB, I can also tar -cvf it but no cp to smb. RH8 if it matters...

Greetings, I don't know how common an issue this is as I haven't found much in the list archives that was helpful to me, so I'm hoping for some pointers. FYI, we have samba 2.3.3a-6 running on the 2.4.18-10 kernel. There seems to be an issue with smbfs mounts at times where connectivity may be lost (e.g. Win share becomes unavailable) causing local processes such as lsof or ps,

Hello and thanks for your informative web site. I went searching through looking for information on MAX file sizes with Samba, unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate what info I needed after an hour or so of searching. What OUR issues are here are we have a NAS using WinNT that our Linux server is accessing. We have a need to COPY/MOVE/TAR a file from one server (NT) to another. What my

Hi, I have RH6.2 with kernel 2.4.1smp, create file 2GB on the ext2fs not problem, but copy datafile>2GB over smb not function:( , where is mistake ? thank you jirka

I'm using Urban Widmark's smbfs/Linux kernel patch (2.2.14) to display iso-8859-1 characters in file names on NT mounts. The patch works fine for me; I'm only wondering if and when it will be integrated into the Linux kernel. After all, NLS is an essential feature and not just nice-to-have for all non-anglophone users... Yes, I know this is a bit off-topic on this list, but there

Hi, I'm trying to mount with smbmount on a read-only system. I have a writable /tmp and /var dir, so it car wirte logs. The samba daemons are running fine, but when doing smbmount I get the following error: can't lock /etc/mtab~ file This is correct, because mtab is read-only. I tried to create a link (ln -sf) from /etc/mtab to /tmp/mtab (and /etc/mtab~ to /tmp/mtab~) but this

Hello All! There was a problem: then the samba server goes down, the smbfs tries to reconnect only once. Then the server returns online the smbfs dont restore connection and say "I/O error" without keeping trying to reconnect. I found that there is no problem in smbfs kernel module. Each time it got CONN_INVALID, it send SIGUSR1 to smbmount daemon, which has to restore connection. The

I've been trying several times now: # mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/etc/samba/private/credentials,codepage=cp850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto //machine/share\$ /mnt/share Causes: # ls /mnt/share/directory Sp?rsm?l.txt While this: # mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/etc/samba/private/credentials,codepage=cp850,iocharset=iso8859-1 //machine/share\$ /mnt/share Causes: # ls /mnt/share/directory

Hi all - If this is in the wrong group kindly direct me where to post. I have an odd problem using rsync across an smbmount (via fstab) of a WinNT drive to Linux Redhat 7.1. I have samba 2.0.10-2 (though smbd is not running) and rsync 2.4.6-2. I use the Linux machine to rsync folders on the WinNT machine to folders on our production webservers. This allows clients to update

I cannot get smbclient (or smbmount) to display iso8859-1 characters (umlauts) correctly... I'm trying to access an NT 4.0 service from a Linux client using smbclient 2.0.6 My settings in /etc/smb.conf are client codepage = 850 character set = ISO8859-1 valid chars = ?:? ?:? ?:? ? But all codepage characters get messed up, e.g. ? (udiaeresis) -> ? (threesuperior). Looking at

Hello All, I'm running Samba 2.2.7a on RedHat 8.0. Connecting to a Windows 2000 200GB share works OK, except for files > 2 GBytes. The linux box can see the large Windows files, but does not see their correct sizes -- it reports an absurdly big size when using ls -l. Files less that 2GB show up correctly. Trying to create a 3G file on the Windows box from the linux box, using:

Hi, I am mounting a windows 2000 share on a linux box (2.4.18) using smbmount (2.2.2). I can create files >2Gb on both the systems, but I can't copy a file >2Gb from the linux box over the smbmount. The file size limit is exceeded and the "cp" command core-dumps. Has anyone solved this problem? I had installed the samba binary rpms; is there a patch-n-compile solution

I have a Linux box (Pentium III processor, 256M RAM) running kernel version 2.4.3, and smbmount version 2.0.7. The Linux box has a Windows 2000 Server share mounted via "mount -t smbfs ...". I am running into what seems to be a cacheing problem. I am doing software development on this share, editing the files from a Win98 workstation, and compiling on the Linux box. However,
